AIDS is produced by HIV. It has the particularity of infecting and destroying the immune system cells, producing an irreversible and progressive immunodepression state in the organism, which makes it susceptible to multiple viral, mycotic and bacterial infections. Several neoplasias are described in these patients, but only some of them show a direct relation to the HIV and its appearance implies the AIDS diagnosis: Kaposi’s sarcoma, non-hodgkin lymphomas, primary brain lymphoma and uterine cervix carcinoma. The treatment of these patients is difficult due to the problems provoked by the HIV infection that weakens the immunity system
